Painting pictures with words.
Opening a part of the soul.
Emotion flowing with the lines.
Tapestry skillfully woven.
Reflecting thoughts artfully.
Yearning to make a difference.

Stand and Deliver--By Anna-Marie Docherty--Wales

Stand and Deliver

Shot out like a cannon ballAs mother lay there in her bedTwisted and contorted Push down hard the nurse had saidAudience at bottom endWere quick to save the headWhat a pair of lungs cried outWent from purple blue to redCleaned up cord cut and swaddledPoor child's hungry wants be fedMum and dad proud as can beHolding babe that they have bred

Anna-Marie Docherty lives in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK and is often inspired by nature and the world around her. Having been writing poetry now for 4 - 5 years, her works have developed in structure and form as well as using free verse in her writing as she walks this endless art form and creativity in her thirst to further learn. Letting the pen and the muse dictate topic and form both humour, religion, nature or the serious subject might be touched upon therefore keeping the writing fresh and easy to read by those who follow. Writing both as given name above and pen name anaisnais through the net, examples of poems can be found both in Snippets, an anthology of short verse by various international poets, compiled by Karen O'Leary and Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson; also Pink Panther magazine, an anthology written by several poets and artists on feminist issues in our environment and various poems on the internet for taster.
